Pillow fighting at Dent Gala

Almost £2,000 was raised at Dent Gala on Monday after a crowd turned out for some traditional family fun.

The event was hailed a success despite fewer people turning out after being deterred by the bad weather.

“Those that came had a fantastic time,” said chair of the organising committee, Sarah Woof.
